Today we remember Jesus' death on the cross. I've been reflecting on this passage all day:
"But He was pierced for our transgressions. He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His wounds we are healed." -Isaiah 53:5-
It is a day in our liturgical calendar that is marked with sorrow and pain. It's hard to leave a Good Friday service feeling good or hopeful about anything, but the sacrifice on the cross had to happen so mankind could be healed, reconciled and made whole.
I'm so grateful that this isn't the end of the story. It gets better...
